Why don't you come over I miss you

Yeah just something else on the list.

I was working on it, thanks for ruining the flow. j/k

Now on a happier note, my wife and I picked this up last night. http://i405.photobucket.com/albums/pp133/ND2RACE/CIMG0080.jpg http://i405.photobucket.com/albums/pp133/ND2RACE/CIMG0079.jpg It by no means will be anything but a daily but I'm very happy to have it. The craziest part of all this is I'm still unemployed, so I have to brag about how great my wife is. She bought it, and drove the Impala so I could play with the new car. She hasn't even drivin this car yet. This is all in addition to getting the titles to my other cars and ATV last week and literally saving $2000 a year on car insurance including the new car. My life is getting better.

Here's where my bitch is, fucking annoying. http://i405.photobucket.com/albums/pp133/ND2RACE/CIMG0081.jpg Plus a flat tire just for kicks. http://i405.photobucket.com/albums/pp133/ND2RACE/CIMG0082.jpg So I've had to drive my worn out S10, it's about done, yes that oil came out of the truck over the last few weeks. http://i405.photobucket.com/albums/pp133/ND2RACE/CIMG0083.jpg I just felt the need to complain about my junk laying around, but hey they're paid for.

iirc the GTO takes an odd battery so you're limited to who actually has it, other then that the batteries you'll find will just be the same battery with different labels, get the best priced/warranty one you can find.

Here you must have missed it in teh other thread.

Just for those that missed it.

Thanks guys, I didn't think I'd get so excited over a Cobalt but it has a lot going for it. I'll get a couple pics tomarow in the daylight.

The more I read about the whole deal, a petition isn't going to do near as much good as writing your senator. Everyone really needs to write your senator if you haven't already done so. I'm not going to waste my time on a real petition, if I go talk to people I'm going to have them write a note to their senator as this will do the most good. Lots of great info on the SEMA Action Network website. http://www.semasan.com/main/main.aspx?ID=/content/SEMASANcom/HomePage

GM certified used with 7900 miles, so almost. We were arguing in some thread and I said it was new, sue me.

Then I must have been born of the wrong race, that's one of the only things I'll eat.

I got a response from my senator's office today. I provided a link to the petition I started, and explained the general opinion of the new bill. The more I read about politics is that a petition isn't going to do much in this type of scenario, but I figured a link would show him that I am not alone. I hope everybody has or will write their senator. Below is the response I got. Not the greatest but it's something.

Let's have a CR bowling team. Otherwise I'm not participating. I suck at sports, and it's not fun to suck.

Well my wife and I bought a new 09 Chevy Cobalt tonight, and I've never felt better about a major purchase. We first went to Dave Gill this past saturday to look at the Cobalts and see if my wife liked them as this will primarily be her car. So we decided to look into financing and seeing what they could offer us with our screwed up credit. They couldn't give us much of an answer saturday so after thinking about it we went back monday and discussed it further. They found a linder that would work with us, but to get the payments we wanted we needed to get an 09 as these had much better rebates. The couple 09s that they had left in stock were just base models, so they found us one that they could do a dealer trade on. We proceeded to work out a good deal and waited until today when they got the car. Fast forward to tonight and we get there to find out the car they were going to get had been sold, so they found us a better one and charged us the same price. So now instead of hub caps we have alloy wheels, and nicer trim with steering wheel controls. After all the rebates and deals they knocked $5000 of the MSRP, and got us right where we needed to be. Not to mention that the APR was a few points lower then we discussed on monday. I'm thrilled shitless to have my first brand new car, and for it to be very affordable. Cliffs: Dave Gill kicks ass, and I will be going there from now on.

That thread is full of arguing and bullshit, I'd like this one to stay in regards to fighting the bill.

I thought that this would be more effective then a traditional petition, but I'm not sure of the difference in impact. To be honest I'm sure there are multiple ways to present this to senators, and I'm reasearching that. I'm open to all ideas, but I at least plan on e-mailing it to all of them. Let's be clear, I've never done anything like this before. So I'm doing the best I know how, any help or ideas are most helpful.

Excellent, exactly what I need, ammunition.

Thank you guys for participating, and keep speading it around. I will get this petition heard by the senators. Please see my other thread on specific arguements against this bill. http://www.columbusracing.com/forums/showthread.php?t=74680

Since I hate the way this law is written, and I would like to stand up against it, I would like to hear your reasons for being against it. Please list the types of this you would tell a senator or represenative to argue against it. I have losts of time on my hands and will find ways to get my voice heard so suggestions on that would also be helpfull.

The petition for her law only got 20 signatures on this site, we can do better. Tell me what you think. http://www.thepetitionsite.com/1/automotive-enthusiasts-against-monica-durban-law

http://www.thepetitionsite.com/1/automotive-enthusiasts-against-monica-durban-law Here's my view and contribution, pass it around. The petition for the Monica Durban Law only had 20 signatures.

The Mustang came out first, but the first few years were lame IMO, it was a pussy car. i think Ford had much better choices for a performance car. In 67-69 when the Camaro came along both cars could be had with big blocks, and had multiple combos good for many different driving styles. Both cars competed at the drag strip, and Trans Am racing. Into the 70s both cars began to suck, but into the 80s and Ford got back on the stick before GM again with the foxbody. Flash ahead to any 4th gen f-body and there was a decent battle. Take away the Camaro again and Ford steps it up with the 03-04 Cobra. Now the Camaro is back and just as good. This battle is pathetic, GM is always late to the party, and Ford won't try to kick GM's ass when they're actually making the car. Sales of the foxbodys was always better for a few reasons, for one they were geared towards the masses. F-body's were great for most enthusiests they were low and sleek, and always tended to perform better straight from the factory. However this always made them less practical, they sucked in bad weather, were harder to get into and out of, so people really had to like it. Mustang on the other hand didn't have much of these issues, and foxbodys could be had with a 4 cylinder most years making them "sporty" and economical. So yeah Mustang has been around longer and sold more cars, DUH! Being a die-hard GM guy and loving the mods and performance of the F-body over the Mustang, it's a clear choice for me.
